This past January, Mayor Al Larson honored three multi-gallon blood donors at a Village Board meeting where plaques were presented to Jack, Barb and John. A fourth plaque was given to Janet at a later time. These four donors have donated almost 100 gallons of blood through the years and their dedication and efforts has been applauded.

How does one become a multi-gallon donor? Just one pint at a time! And you can start-or continue-that quest at the next Schaumburg community blood drive that will be held Wednesday, April 6, at The Barn, 231 Civic Dr., Schaumburg. Please mark your calendar and plan to donate. Make an appointment with LifeSource online or by calling (877) 543-3768. Five $20 gift cards to Trader Joe's will be awarded through a random drawing at this drive.

The featured business of the month for March is Zeigler Auto Group. Zeigler is a new and used car dealer that operates 26 dealerships across the United States. Of these 26 total locations, Zeigler operates eight dealerships in the Chicago suburbs, three of which are right here in Schaumburg. Zeigler Chevrolet; Zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM; and Zeigler Maserati Alfa Romeo Fiat are all located along Golf Road and employ more than 200 people in Schaumburg collectively. The three dealerships have invested more than $7 million in the village over the past nine years which has included a significant remodel of the Chevrolet site and the new development of the Chrysler and Maserati dealerships.

In addition to investing profoundly in the village, Zeigler Auto Group has also been actively involved in the community. The three Zeigler franchises have donated financially to a number of local organizations and civic groups including the Schaumburg Boomers, Girl Scouts of America, Wounded Warrior Project, American Cancer Society, Special Olympics and other Schaumburg-area organizations.
